Abberton Resevoir

The day started with a view outside when a single SWIFT flew through heading against the strong wind with difficulty.
Yet the visit to Layer Breton end to the reservoir brought in hardly any duck except some odd PINTAIL and three YELLOW WAGTAILS. Mind you there was a few LAPWING and 9 LITTLE  EGERET as well as a single COMMON TERN.
At what I call cuckoo hide on arrival at least 5 CORN BUNTING flew in while I stood at the side of the car in reality I think there were 7 but unable to gain view of all birds. Also fly over YELLOW WAGTAIL at three again and a pair of LINNET as well as a calling WILLOW WARBLER. There was also a very active SPARROW HAWK but the best was from the hide with three CURLEW SANDPIPER and again there could have been 5 birds in all but thee did not give themselves away. On there near bank LAPWING, TEAL, MALLARD, POCHARD, TUFTED DUCK, with PIED WAGTAIL as well as a single LITTLE RINGED PLOVER.

I'm just a little Robin and some young Curlew
Sandpiper.
